The idea that the surface of the earth consists of a bunch of rock "rafts" floating around on a hidden mantle, occasionally running into each other -- with some falling and others rising -- seems rather crazy. It took a lot of dat

There's poor quality videos of older tests on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a1acYZ93yc These inert reentry vehicles are impacting at hypersonic speeds; I wouldn't want to be anywhere near there.

My current Vuescan license is from 1999. And I think that one was just to replace an older serial due to some upgrade on their end. It's probably the most bang for the buck of any software I've actually purchased. I don't do

I have both; I got the LG when they first came out and the Studio display last year during a good sale on Amazon. The panels seem the same but everything on the Apple one is better, as you would expect. But lately my LG is starting to have

Yeah, I've been using these on multiple Macs for a decade now and it's just not an issue. If I get the warning the mouse is getting low on charge I just plug it in, go grab a drink or use the bathroom, and by the time I get back i

For a decade. That works out to $10 a month. Not a bad deal.

Both JB Hunt and Tyson Foods are nearby. Both very large Fortune 500 companies. Lots of smaller companies that work with Walmart have offices there, too. And as others have said, it's mountain bike heaven. Super low cost of living, too

Yeah, and this should really should have set off alarm bells to the officials there: "Ms. Blanchard would buy the building, renovate it and make it the launchpad for a rethinking of Bartlesville as “Silicon Ranch,” a new hub for techno

I know this is in jest, but it might be the root of the problem; a lot of folks don't have a good grasp on basic math, especially with large numbers, and fall victim to this kind of thinking.

Once I was cruising down the 130 toll road around Austin just after rush hour listening to the radio and just keeping up with traffic. Then traffic started pulling away from me and I couldn't keep up; my truck wouldn't go any fast

I meant there's few trucks during rush hour. Overnight it's a different story. Last month I was going down south I-35 around midnight and got stuck in construction traffic in Waco and it was about 80% trucks.

You should try going over one of those on a motorcycle! Good thing I'm not afraid of heights.

The frontage roads are great. If the freeway comes to a standstill you just cross over to the frontage road and continue. Doesn't matter if there's an exit or not. Everyone has giant 4x4 trucks so you can just exit where ever you

Being someone that has sat in a lot of traffic in Texas on these interchanges, the number of vehicles with more than one person is a rounding error. There's a few trucks hauling freight, but they try to miss the cities during rush hour

Those steep ramps and banked curves sure are fun when an ice storm comes along about once every five years.

Just in case anyone is wondering what kind of shock waves a nearby nuclear blast would generate, watch this video of a 1-megaton test in central Nevada. You can drive right up to this point today: https://www.youtube.com/wat

100% agree. I drove through a bunch of these just yesterday and my wife and I were saying that once the current generation die there's little reason for these towns to exist.

I don't recall it being especially transformative. I was in high school from 1979 to 1983 and was an early adopter of a Walkman, probably sometime in 1980. It was fun to share it with friends and -- especially -- girls. I probably wore

Same when my dad was dying from cancer a few years ago. He was prescribed ice cream with "sprinkles" in an effort to get his caloric intake up. In the end the cancer still got him, but it was less painful than the alternative of,

It's all fun until lightning strikes your wellhead, shorts out your well pump, and your insurance denies the claim. Then you discover there is a large capital cost to delivering water besides the electricity cost.

Yes, very much so. Some of the interesting small rural museums across the western US I've been to include: * Museum of the Fur Trade near Chadron, Nebraska * The Santa Fe Trail Center near Larned, Kansas * Ash Fork Route 66 Museum in A

I was at the MySQL conference when it was announced that Oracle was buying Sun. It just took all the life out of the conference. All the Sun folks were super pissed off. Truly the end of an era.
